Totally Tasty Tequila Drinks that are not All Margaritas

It is hard to talk about cocktails with tequila and not mention margaritas. Margaritas come in different flavors and even different types. There is something for everyone.

However, people get tired of the same old thing, even if they haven’t tried them all. Luckily, there are still more recipes to go that aren’t margaritas.

They will be just as delicious, just as amazing, and get you right where you want to be. Some are cocktails, others are shots, but all are tequila drinks we can enjoy.

After you’re done trying all of those delicious margaritas, perhaps you will need something a little different to spice things up! That’s where these tequila drinks shine brightly.

All of these beautiful and creative drinks contain tequila, but some of them hide it really well. If you’re not one for an overbearing tequila taste, you might like some of these drinks that contain juices.

The Paloma recipes are especially refreshing and delicious. If you need something with a few fewer calories, you should definitely check out the skinny tequila squeeze; it’s totally tasty without the added calories!

Mixed Drinks with Tequila

Now we get to the down and dirty…let’s face it: this is where tequila likes to be! If you like trying out new recipes for shots, then these tequila drinks are for you!

All of these recipes would be great for your next party or a night out, BUT they’re also really fun to whip up at home. Finally, no tequila drinks collection would be complete without a shot of tequila.

You probably don’t need a recipe for this one. Tasty and true tequila fans will take a regular shot of tequila all by itself! But some shots add more flavor and are just as good. Those are coming next.

Tequila Shots

Shots are easier to make, though they require a bit of a gentle hand. That is because many of them are pouring straight into the shot glass. The last thing you want is to overfill the shots.

But they are worth the effort to make and can make taking shots more fun and less…shivery if you know what we mean.
